Cashew Cheese
The perfect recipe for rich, creamy and satisfying cheese. Delicious on pizza, used as a spread on sandwiches or just about anything you can think of, this hits the spot! However, it is made from nuts and is high in calories and fat, so eat mindfully and with moderation. We do not have this around all the time, but when we do, we enjoy every last bite!
Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups cashews soaked 4-6 hours
– juice from 1 lemon
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup water. Add 1/2 cup more as needed
Directions
Drain and rinse soaked cashews and place in blender. Add lemon juice, salt and 1/2 cup water and blend. Adding in water if needed. For a thicker “ricotta” cheese use less water and for a thinner “cream cheese” use more water. Add other flavors as desired such as black pepper etc. Experiment and have fun!
